Landscape design on the Central Coast
Warren walks the site with you, then draws a plan that suits the block, the house and the way you live.
Landscape design that starts on your block
Every Central Coast block is different. Levels, aspect, drainage and the trees already there all shape what a garden can be. So landscape design at Birdwood starts with Warren on site, walking the block with you.
That first meeting takes an hour and a half to two hours. You talk through what your family needs from the garden, and ideas often come up on the spot. Afterwards you get a fee proposal for the design. If you go ahead, the cost of the site meeting comes off the design fee.
The finished plan gives you the detail to build from, whether Birdwood builds it or you take it on yourself.
What clients say about Warren and the team
Easy to deal with, friendly, professional and a fantastic designer. Warren delivered on what he said he would, within budget and left the site clean and tidy each day. Have recommended Birdwood to others.
“We had a long list of things we wanted included in our 2.5 acre landscape design. Everything from a cottage garden, vegetable patch, feature trees, privacy screening and a kids playground. What BLD came up with was fantastic! They consulted us throughout the design process and were open to ideas. Even after providing the DYI plan, we found their service and advice to be exceptional. We have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone who requires a landscape design.” Lee and Linda, Lisarow
We have engaged Burswood Landscape design as landscaping designer for a few projects. Professional team to work with, friendly, efficient and great results.
Highly recommended
Warren and his team transformed our overgrown jungle into a beautiful rainforest garden. Everyone involved worked very hard in difficult conditions - rain, mud and more rain. But they got there and two years later, the garden is flourishing. We are very happy. Janet and Margaret, Avoca Beach

Landscape design questions
Got a different question? Give Warren a call.
I already have plans from an architect. Can you still help?
Yes. Warren can work from a landscape architect's or designer's drawings, adjust the planting for your site, or simply build what's drawn.
Do I need a landscape designer for a small garden?
Not always, but even a small courtyard is easier to get right with a plan. Bringing a designer in early helps you avoid paying to change things later.
